The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) of 1975 established

an energy conservation program for major household appliances.

The National Energy Conservation Policy Act of 1978 amended

EPCA to add Part C of Title III, which established an energy

conservation program for certain industrial equipment . The Energy

Policy Act of 1992 amended EPCA to add certain commercial

equipment, including distribution transformers.

The Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and

Renewable Energy, Building Technologies Program conducts the

program that develops equipment energy conservation standards

and has overall responsibility for rulemaking activities for

distribution transformers in fulfillment of the law.

The first step in developing energy conservation standards was the

Secretarial determination in 1997 that, " Based on its analysis of

the information now available, the Department has determined that

energy conservation standards for transformers appear to be

technologically feasible and economically justified, and are likely to

result in significant savings" 62 FR 54809 (October 22, 1997).

The Department is currently conducting two rulemakings for

Distribution Transformers : an energy conservation standard and a

test procedure.
